Even as seniors, we are faced with new situations and new decisions. Am I capable of being a full-time caregiver? How will I handle being alone? Will I still be able to minister to people?

Unload the burdens and doubts and concerns that are welled up inside of you. Then after prayer and guidance, step forward in faith and confidence.
